The Poorest of the Poor

Young girls in Nepal face a hard life. Young girls in rural areas .....hard is just the beginning.

We found some grass in Kathmandu! And, did these girls just love rugby

7 hours walk to reach the village school. We took 10 girls from Padma Kanyya School with us to help coach rugby and run school classes

The BackgroundWe first visited Nepal in July 2015. The impact of the earthquake is well documented and the loss of life and damage to the infrastructure is all around. What was more sobering is the poverty and conditions which so many live in.﻿

The Inspire Sport & Leadership ProgrammeOver the last 3 years we have worked closely with teachers from the Padma Kanya School in Kathmandu and, in 2018, the Laxmi Pratisthan charity.

We have run the Inspireprogramme in Kathmandu, Pokhara and in Kanda village in the mountainous Chitwan region.

2019

In October this year we began the first year-long, leadership programme for girls at the Padma Kanya School.​We began in Kathmandu, introducing the girls to cricket and continuing the rugby training. Then, on to Pokhara for more sport, leadership and activities - including a day trekking up to a Gurkha village. ​We finished back in Kathmandu with the girls planning community projects for the time up to Module 2 in April 2020. ​
